The HIV 1.2.0 rapid test cassette (whole blood/serum/plasma) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of antibodies against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1, type 2 and subtype O in whole blood, serum or plasma to support diagnosis an HIV infection.
Only suitable for in vitro diagnostic purposes.
Advantages:
Can be performed with whole blood (from vein or finger prick), serum or plasma
Sensitivity of 99.9%
Diagnostic specificity of 99.9%
Process control through integrated control line area
Results can be read within 10 minutes
Accuracy of 99.9%

Preparation:
- Allow test cassette, sample, buffer and/or controls to come to room temperature (15-30°C) before testing.
- Bring the test cassette in the bag to room temperature before opening it. Remove the cartridge from the sealed bag and use it within one hour.
- Place the test cassette on a clean and flat surface.
Sample transfer:
- For serum or plasma samples:
- Hold the pipette vertically and add 1 drop of serum or plasma (approx. 25 µL) to the sample area.
- Then add 1 drop of buffer (approx. 40 µL) and start the timer (see figure below).
For whole blood samples from venipuncture:
- Hold the pipette vertically and add 2 drops of whole blood (approx. 50 µL) to the sample area.
- Then add 2 drops of buffer (approx. 80 µL) and start the timer (see figure below).
For finger prick whole blood samples:
- Use a capillary tube: Fill the capillary tube with approximately 50 µL of finger prick whole blood and add it to the sample area of the test cassette.
- Then add 2 drops of buffer (approx. 80 µL) and start the timer (see figure below).
Reading the results:
- Wait for the colored line(s) to appear.
- Read the results after 10 minutes.
- Important: Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
